And Jehovah said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name; I did not send them, nor have I commanded them, nor did I speak to them. They prophesy to you a false vision and a worthless divination, and a thing of no value, and the deceit of their heart.

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in My name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me. If another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.

But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously used sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great,

to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

And all who dwell on the earth will do homage to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
